Finding good food is hard, finding good salad is HARDER Sometimes you pay a high price, some times you have to BARTER Sometime Barbie comes here in fencenets, sometimes in a GARTER But if you want a wonderful Salad, go to SALATA Except not so wonderful at this inside-the-Mall location. 3 visits and all of them decidedly substandard. And I don't mean crafted to the standard of a US Navy Sub either. Nor a Subway Sub, which honestly aren't much worse. Now this is probably the worst Salata location we've ever been to. The service wasn't good, but wasn't the worst part. All of the veggies were pretty much bad, as in rotten, browning, congealed, inedible. Just from the ugly visuals, we had to cut out about half the things that we wanted that we usually get at other locations, because they looked so wilted and rotten. And still... Whatever we were left with tasted so rotten that we didn't even eat half of it. It was also a small portion but the congealed nature was the main problem. Yet we're still paying nearly $10 per salad for this. Easily a 1-star experience, and whereas most Salatas are anywhere from a 3 to a 5, this is one which I would avoid like the plague. But I love this company as a whole and I love the woman that responds so kindly to reviews, good, and bad, and I don't have the heart to give less than 3. Not that I really avoid the plague since it doesn't so much plague us anymore. Perhaps you could say I avoid it like an STD, since it's easier to catch those, and usually more fun. read more

Yeah I ordered two salata bowls the lady whole time seemed annoyed. Not only that she proceeds add the smallest portions to chicken and shrimp. I had to ask for extra chicken and she adds half scoop twice and quick to say I had two scoops. I'm just genuenly surprised but I was extremely hungry so I had no option but to pay for that extra 8 dollars. Not only that but she kept putting in shrimp one by one I was so surprised and it felt like she put 5 shrimp it's insane to get charged 8 dollars for that. I'm very disappointed on employee behavior she was White browned hair girl. read more

Salata - This is the bowl I orders practically nothing. It's nearly even full. - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was between a small and a regular salad. Ended up going with the regular. I asked for romaine and arugula, and they gave me... A LOT. Now, I am wishing I got the small. When it came to the dressing, they were skimping and I had to ask for extra because they gave me so much romaine and arugula. Then charged me for it. I am annoyed. How about give an appropriate amount of dressing to salad ratio? I asked it as to-go. He didn't hear me. Thats okay, I'll just repeat myself. They packed my salad, and proceeded to just hand me the box. I had to stand there awkwardly waiting for a bag and fork. I am never going back to this location. The Salata on Briar Forest Dr. always gets me right. read more

Salata - Spinach salad - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

I am very angry at the server who prepared our salad. She was short, round, black haired and was working there around 5pm today when we were there. She looked like she was in charge at the time we were there. She was very rude to my wife. My wife was trying to point out what she wanted in her salad and when the girl rudely told her to keep her hands behind the glass, with a very condescending tone. We did not point inside the glass, just at the top of the glass. She did not just say this one time, she said it many times to embarass in front of other customers. Pointing at the items we want from the top of the glass does not get anywhere near the food for her to have that kind of a rude reaction. If this is the way your servers treat customers, I'd rather make my own salad at home rather than spend $20 on a salad and be treated that way. This does not make me want to come back to Salata, because it gives me a bad experience that I don't want to repeat. I've been in the retail industry and know that this is not the way to treat customers and get customers to come back. You will lose business if she keeps that up. As a server you should be nice and happy and cheerful to make customers happy and get them to come back again and again. With that attitude you will definitely lose customers. Customers come in to relax and eat a meal and not to be rudely treated. There are many other restaurants in Houston that I can go to that won't cause stress. read more

The service here is horrendous. We got here at 8:15, and they had all the protein already setting outside of the cooler, none of greens were refilled. The dressing we're sitting on a cart. The food safety of this place should be a huge concern for the company. They're trying to break down early but sacrificing the safety of food temperature is not worth it. read more

Salata at Memorial City is clean and people are nice. I had a small salad, small soup and a drink. $15. Not a good value in my opinion. I would eat here more if it was a little cheaper. I like ghe pesto chicen. read more

No matter how it's tossed, I just don't find this place worthy of anymore of my money. This was my first time visiting the Memorial City mall location of this eatery. Albeit lunchtime, the place was not crowded. Service - The employees were friendly enough but completely scattered and unorganized. I asked for my salad to go and they still put it in a dine-in bowl. Handfuls of toppings were literally thrown on top. Once mixed, it was put into a to go container after my 3rd reminder. Taste - Meh. Just nothing special. Value - Way over priced. $7.00 base for a small salad and a $2 up-charge for grilled chicken. Seriously??? I've had entree salads that beat that price and tasted much better. I will not be back. read more

Looked at the website before I left home. The website says they close at 9pm I got to their store and walked in and stood before asking bc everyone ignored me, "are y'all closed?!?" He said yes so i walk out and look on the window for the time which also says 9pm and I go back in and ask "y'all close a whole hour early?" He raised 8 fingers up and I said your window says 9pm and he shrugged his shoulders then continued to package the food up and ignore me. I drove 20 mins to get there because that's the closest location. I was extremely upset. Never going to trust this location again. read more

The food is fresh and yummy. The service is them preparing your salad and the atmosphere is chilled and relax.

Me and coworkers order salads for lunch today and my salad was taste horrible and looks like it was made for a 5 year old child. I called and told them and I talked to Margarita and she was very nice and offered me a refund or make me another one. So I told her I'll just come after work for a new one. So when I get there I was telling them I talked to Margarita and it seems like they didnt believe me. I asked was she there they said no so I told them what happened. Geraldo I believe that's his name was helping me I asked him to put on fresh gloves bc he had those on when I walked in, then I was telling him what I want Leo which was rude said can I step behind the blue like with an attitude! I told him when he put on gloves. So as I'm telling him what I want he was so nonchalant! Then after he put my salad in a bowl he asked did I want a bag and just stood there like I wasnt suppose to have one!! Although he told me thank you the whole experience wasnt pleasant! Whish I can give zero stars. This is the third salatas I've went to and had bad customer service. I was told to write in and email (that I was given on here) and never got a respond. Next thing I'm going to do is write a letter or call because this is ridiculous!!! *the picture is how my salad looked when I got it earlier today for lunch!* read more

Walked in. Got my stuff in my salad. They don't have heavy hands but they don't mind if I asked for more. BTW.... Your salad comes w bread regardless if you get croutons. You have to ask for it, although it is included in the menu item. read more

I hate to leave a negative review because the food was actually pretty decent...but I was a bit angry by the service. Going in, they didn't really explain how it works or anything. The first lady was semi polite and asked me what she could do for me, but from that point on, it went downhill. They kept leaving my food at corners of their counters without a word and walk off. At some point, they didn't know which bowl was mine and looked at me with annoyance for not telling them what to put in someone else's bowl... The cashier tried to overcharge me for what I didn't order and then tried to fix it with a calculator. My total would have been 13.08 afterwards, but he didn't fix anything on the computer. Not wanting a handful of change, I asked him if I could give him a dime and he hand me a dollar. He was like...no it's already in the system. At that point I was annoyed because they had nothing to do with the change and I forced the issue. I got a wrap and a drink. The problem with the wrap was that they didn't cut it in half properly so when I tried to pull out one side, it got stuck and spilled everything out. I ended up basically eating it like a salad. I understand that this is just a mall joint, but honestly, the lackluster service was disappointing. If I'm gonna force myself to eat something semi-healthy, I'm already in a foul mood...don't add to it :(... read more

I'm such a huge fan of Salata !! Whenever I wanna have a delicious healthy lunch, it never disappoints. This was my first time at this location and service was great. I've been to multiple locations and this one really doesn't skimp out on the toppings. Some Salatas give you a tiny sprinkle of toppings which can be annoying, but that won't happen here. There's sooo many toppings to choose from. From different veggies, beans, cheeses, fruits, seeds, dressings, and protein. I always get the balsamic herb vinaigrette dressing. LOVE IT. I really wish I could buy a bottle of it for when I make salads at home. It's my favorite salad dressing, from Salata and just in general. This dressing is one of the main reasons why I keep coming back since I haven't found anything like it ! I usually get the spicy chipotle chicken or pesto chicken as my protein. Both are great. Also, always add the croutons. They're super good. The tomato soup is super creamy. If you're looking for something to add to your meal, I would definitely try it out. read more

I was at the mall the other day when I got really hungry. I had heard about this chain, so I decided to check it out. This is a great alternative to all the fast food in the food court. I got a regular size veggie salad. Their website says they have over 50 toppings to choose from, but it didn't seem like this location had that many at the time. They did have a lot of nice vegetables to choose from, but I think I only got around 10 toppings. I didn't get the avocado, which is $1 extra. I love avocado, but I can buy a small one at the grocery store for less than $1. I also got the balsamic vinaigrette on the side. The salad was good. The dressing tasted nice. They seem to give small amounts of each topping, but I didn't try asking for extra. The staff seemed polite. What's nice about this place is that they have their own seating area. I liked being away from all the hustle and bustle of the fast food outlets and tables out in the open. It was pretty quiet inside the restaurant, but they were playing some weird music that I didn't care for. They have a TV, and it was muted at the time, showing some game. It wasn't soccer, so I ignored it lol. If I'm stuck at the mall and wanting to eat, then I will probably come here again. But I rarely go to the mall. read more

Salata - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

So up until today, I've been getting mediocre and bad service at this location. Once in a while I get great service. However, I am really patient so I never complain and just move on with my life. Today, however, I had the worst experience here. Omar, a staff there, was being extremely rude. When I came in, there was not many customers at all. No customers behind me either, so there is no excuse for rushing me. I was ordering my moms salad, which is isn't sure what some of the veggies were. So I had to ask her first what she wanted before I told him. And when she said she wanted everything in that section except for onions, he rolled his eyes and started throwing stuff in. We moved to the next section which had eggs and cheese, he remarked "she wants everything but the jalapeños?" With a smirk. Then proceed to ask me "did she just come to America? What language do you guys speak? It's the same as Chinese right? I mean y'all should understand all the Asian language then. When I ask for dressing on the side he gave me another Attitude and barely filled up the sauce container. Then he just rushed us to give to someone else. He was being a jerk the entire time, making sly remarks about my race. And didn't want to serve my mom. Like this is the "new generation salad bar" where I'm suppose to be able to get the salad I want. Why am I paying so much when I can't even get what I want in my salad? Heck if I could touch the salad I wouldn't need to deal with this guy who can't even just do his job (add stuff I want in the bowl). I even repeatedly said I'll pay extra. Just give me what I want in my salad. The rest of the staff apologized on his behalf. But I didn't want to make a huge deal and it's not even fair the other employees get dragged down with this Omar guy. read more

I am on a health kick right now so I eat mainly Salads . I usually go to the River Oaks location near the marshals and they are absolutely great. Everything there is fresh and the service is nice they give you a healthy serving of everything you want on your salad so I decided to try to Memorial city location First of all In the Memorial location are very stingy with their serving portions the Lettuce and Kale did not look too fresh to me not did some of the other vegetables. It just was not as appealing as the other location. When I ask for some artichokes this server told me he's gonna give me two pieces of artichoke hearts two dollars if I wanted more it will be an additional two dollars are you kidding me? They never used to count the artichokes on my salad it was a disappointing experience Also the salad dressing did not taste as good . This experience totally motivated me to make my own salads from now on and not waste money on this nonsense. read more

I'd only ever come to this location when I lived in Houston so I couldn't really compare with other locations, but when I went off to college in Austin and went to a Salata there... DANG there was a stark difference. The staff here is never enthusiastic/always seems bored, they give such tiny portion sizes, and always rush even though I'm never there when they're busy. Portion size is what annoys me the most though. If I'm paying $11 for a salad, hook me up darn it!!!!! The only reason I still eat here is because it's the healthiest option when I get hungry while I'm shopping--and I love shopping. read more

The first time I tried Salata (another location, of course), I wasn't that crazy about it. Yes, they have lots of amazing toppings, but I was so overwhelmed by everything that I felt my salad was just a bunch of mis-matched toppings. Plus, I thought they were a little stingy with some of the veggies I requested. My opinion has definitely changed. I was on a three-hour shopping spree last week and realized mid-way through the mall that I hadn't had anything to eat since before spin class 12 hours earlier! I was starving - but didn't want to give in to all the junk that is housed in the food court. I knew Salata had to the best choice to stick to my diet and also give me something filling. I carefully selected my toppings this time and added the grilled chicken as my protein. Even though I was starving, I choose the small salad because it's still pretty damn big. The line girl was generous with my selections and even put my dressing in a container on the side so if I didn't finish everything, I could take the leftovers home - without having soggy lettuce! Well, the small side was the perfect serving for my hunger - lots of crisp veggies, tender grilled chicken and fresh housemade sundried tomato fat-free vinaigrette dressing. Yumm!! I also discovered their fresh-brewed teas and lemonades. I especially enjoyed the lemonade with green tea. Not too sweet, but just right! I didn't have room for dessert, but I will keep in mind this place for quick snacks as well since they also have a greek yogurt bar. I had the pleasure of sampling their yogurt at an event at my spin studio earlier this month and it was really delicious. I love greek yogurt - but only the THICK, REAL stuff - and that was exactly what they were serving. They offer lots of fruit choices for toppings, as well as honey! Not sure of the pricing, but I'm sure it's reasonable. I personally don't mind paying more to eat here vs. grabbing processed frozen crap at any of the other food selections located in the food court. read more

Very disappointed after being so loyal going 3 times a week for four months always ordered from the location abd they are not as willing fill up the wrap or salad as before when I visited last three weeks, and the cashier even told me they don't give out extra pitas no more that need to pay for one extra bag ( and the pita chips they included in the box of wraps are cut in half as well). To say I tried the online order abd the portion is even less ( half of what I got before) very disappointed! read more

DO NOT pay with credit/debit card at this location. They will give you a receipt with a blank space for you to add a tip, but not an opportunity to sign their copy. I have a receipt showing $10 charged, but I didn't write one in so I will be what monitoring my bank statement closely. Today I ordered shrimp in my wrap and they only gave me four pieces of small shrimp. Ridiculous portion for two dollars extra. read more

Wide variety! Salad taste amazing and the fact they have calories posted helps a lot!! This should be out of the mall restaurant

Like others have mentioned, this started off being a great lunch spot (4.5 stars) and has dwindled from there to "A-ok" (3 stars). I adored this place for lunch when it first opened. It also helped that we got a few coupons in our office, especially considering that multiple people from my floor would eat there every day. A "Buy 8, get 1 free" card would really benefit a place like this next to office buildings. I wish they had a set number of how many instances/portions of toppings you could get. I don't like many toppings, but I like a lot of those toppings. If the person in front of me is getting 15 toppings, you better believe that I expect extra black beans when I only get 4 toppings. I was told no on this several times and they would look at me like they were appalled that I would bring it up and explain the logic. If they're so concerned about giving small portions for toppings, maybe they could use a smaller bowl for the toppings portion and once it's full, that's it. Then lettuce is selected at the end. I have heard that other locations are not this stingy. They occasionally hand out greek yogurt samples with a berry and honey as you enter the line. They're good, but after I get a large salad, I'm not up for that. This is great for people that love a million different things on their salads. read more

Big fan of salata as it is one of the only health restaurants at memorial mall. I usually get the salata wrap and there are a lot of things too add. Highly recommend the turkey. Typically has a long line during lunch but they move quickly. The only thing I would like to see is low calorie wraps as all the wraps are at least 300 calories. read more
